Diamond Cuts a Deal
Diamond was equal parts angry and terrified when she left the bathroom to chase after Declan. He didn't wait for her and was already halfway down the hall by the time she exited the bedroom. He didn't even slow his long strides. She was left jogging after him to keep up, so she didn't get lost.
Declan entered his bedroom, briefly waited for Diamond to slip past him then promptly slammed the door behind her. It shook in its frame as he stormed across the room.
He paced the space in aggravated silence, ripping at his tie and pulling it free from around his neck while mumbling to himself. He chucked it on his desk with an angry curse. "That woman never ceases to amaze me. Such insolence!" He kicked a chair out of his way before absentmindedly circling back around the room.
"Declan?" Diamond took a hesitant step forward. "What's going on?" She placed a tentative hand on his arm to stop him from continuing his rampage.
Declan turned on her, pointing at her. He drove her backward across the room and up against the bedroom door. His burning glare terrified her.
"Your friend just threw me into a terrible position."
"I'm sorry about all of this mess. If I knew Eden would have behaved like that, I would've come alone or with someone else entirely."
Declan seized Diamond's face between both of his hands and leaned into her, panting for breath. "Never apologize for other people's mistakes. It will only make you seem weak." He caught her off guard by dipping his head and kissing her lightly on the mouth. "And you are anything but weak." He mumbled against her lips.
The gentle touch turned into a fevered event of parting lips and colliding tongues. They stumbled backward over the wooden floor until they crashed into the bed.
Declan parted from their kiss and stood breathlessly over her for a moment before saying, "I wanted to tell you how exquisite you were tonight. No one could take their eyes off of you. I know I certainly couldn't."
They carried on as before, kissing and toying with each other's mouths and limbs but when Diamond moved to work at his belt, Declan stopped her.
"Not just yet." He whispered. "We have something important to discuss."
"That's a hell of a way to kill the moment." Diamond pouted up at him, her hands still on his belt. She tugged him forward. "Come to bed. Take out your frustrations there with me. Then we'll worry about the Eden situation. I'm sure it can wait a little while longer."
"Don't worry," Declan grinned down at her before giving her another lingering kiss that sent shockwaves down her spine. "I plan on enjoying every orifice you have to offer tonight. But first, we have some important business to figure out."
"I'm not sure I like where you're going with this." Diamond gave in with a huff. "But out with it."
"There's been a change of plans."
"What do you mean?" Now Diamond was concerned, genuinely concerned for what might be at stake. She couldn't help but feel that Eden had screwed them both over with her slap-happy hands.
"You may want to take a seat."
Diamond shook her head no, but when Declan's eyebrow arched, questioning her defiance, she perched on the edge of the bed and waited for him to continue.
A million and one thoughts raced through her mind. From little things as that man pressing charges on Eden to Declan denying payment for their participation. The idea of losing her money infuriated her to no end, and if that was the case, she might as well go pack her shit up and leave now instead of later. She wouldn't sleep with him, even if she wanted to if he took her massive payday away from her.
"You have a tough decision ahead of you."
Diamond wondered if he was toying with her, "Oh I get where you're going with this. Who's gonna be on top?" Her hands moved to the button of his pants, "You don't have to do a damn thing, Honey. Just lay back and let me do all the work." She hoped this would sway him.
Declan grabbed both of her wrists and drew each of her hands to his lips. "Listen. I'm allowing you this choice because you've pleased me immensely tonight. Your willingness to comply with my every demand tonight makes me want to bend you over this bed right now and take you. Trust me when I tell you this, it's taking much restraint not to act on my desires." He kissed her again, drawing out the action. "Are you listening to me?"
"Yeah but I'm not sure I'm following."
"One of you isn't leaving this house." Declan's tone hardened and an icy chill settled over her skin.
"Is this some freaky foreplay shit or did you just tell me one of us is not leaving this house?"
"As I said, this is a tough decision and it's one that shouldn't be taken lightly. I'll allow you the rest of the night to choose-"
"Eden." Diamond's voice was emotionless, calm and indifferent as she stared down at their feet.
"Are you confident with your answer?"
"I choose Eden." She glanced up and stated her answer firmly. "I don't need any time to think it through. She can stay."
Declan cocked an eyebrow, "What, no fight or objections? No begging or bargaining to be made? I'm surprised. I thought I'd see a little more emotion, Eden being your closest friend and all." He laughed.
"I have an eight-year-old son who expects his mama home by noon tomorrow. If I don't' show up, if I'm even a minute late, he's been instructed to call the police immediately and tell them I'm with Declan Payne, license plate number PIP-002." Diamond cracked a tiny smirk, "I'm sure that would lead them right here."
"That was certainly clever of you. Tell me, do you always think so far ahead?" Declan ran his thumb over her cheek.
"I do when it involves me steppin' foot in a strangers house. You can never be too trusting in my line of work."
"That's such a pity." He brushed his lips against hers, pausing to enjoy their little moment, and sighed heavily. "I won't lie though, I was hoping for a different outcome. You'd make a fine addition to my collection of beauties."
"Thanks for the offer but no."
"Are you sure you don't want to change your mind?"
"Damn sure." Diamond hands gripped the waist of his pants again, and with a firm tug, she yanked him forward, "Now shut the hell up and come over here." She kissed him and bit playfully at his bottom lip.
"Would you care to let Eden know of your choice tonight?" Declan asked.
Diamond threw herself back on the bed. She was left horny and annoyed at his constant change of topic.
"And tell her what exactly?" she asked.
"You can start with the truth."
"Never gonna happen, Honey."
"That's your choice." Declan nodded, "Now, what would you like in return?"
Diamond perked up, leaning on her elbow. "What do you mean in return?"
"We're conducting a business deal, Diamond." Declan laughed. "Surely you'd want something in return. Name your conditions." He took a seat next to her.
Diamond laid back on the bed and thought it through.
"There's no rush. Take all the time you need." He plucked at the drawstring of her pajama bottoms and dragged them off of her body. "No underwear?" He stared down at her hairless sex and cocked an eyebrow.
"I figured it was one less thing to take off. Declan!" She squealed as he dragged her to the edge of the bed and parted her legs wide to expose everything.
Declan knelt before her parted legs, kissing the inside of each of her thighs. "But I'd like an answer before you cum." He nipped at her skin, making her squeal again.
"That's not fair." Diamond moaned under the pleasure of Declan's working mouth. His tongue worked furiously against her clit, circling and flicking it. "Damn! You're good."
He slipped his hands under her ass and held her wiggling hips in place, "I'm waiting for your demands."
Diamond couldn't think about anything but how close he was driving her to the edge of orgasm. Her legs twitched on either side of his head as she tried to come up with something, anything. She thought of Eden. Of her slapping that man.
"I want Eden's cut."
Her fingers ran through his hair as another moan slipped past her lips.
"And?" His fingers teased her sensitive opening, probing and circling it before plunging deep inside her vagina.
He crawled onto the bed, laying next to her, while he slipped a third finger into her.
Diamond moved to pull him closer. She wrapped her arm around his neck and kissed him as his hand picked up speed.
"What is it you want? Tell me now." He growled against her neck.
Diamond's mind swarmed with thoughts of everything she ever wanted. But there was only one constant want in her life and that was cold hard cash.
"I want $100,000 grand for every year Eden's with you. And I want it all in cash."
His thumb circled her clit. The friction sent a jolt of pleasure through her core. "Anything else?"
"No." Diamond's legs began to shake, her hips rocked with the fevered movements of his hand. Her breath quicken as she teetered over the edge and into oblivion. She cried out in pure ecstasy and panted against his mouth. The taste of her still lingered on his lips.
But his hand was unrelenting as she withered next him. "Beg me to allow you to cum again." Diamond tried to kiss him but he moved away from her. "Beg."
He gave her cunt a teasing slap that made her cry out in shock. The sting of the blow was positively euphoric though. It sent a pulse surging through her body.
"Say it." He slapped her harder then drove his fingers into her again.
"Pl-" She gasped for air, "please!" and she barely got the word out before she had another explosive orgasm.
This time Diamond clamped her legs around his hand and quickly rolled to her side to make him stop. Her muscles clenched around his fingers as she rode the rest of the pleasure wave.
Declan laid next to her and planted little kisses on the back of her neck. "Greed is the ugliest sin of all, yet it's always the first to be used."
"Did I ask for too much?" Diamond released his hand when she rolled his way.
"Not at all. You drive a hard bargain Ms. Hastings, but it's a deal. I'll have my lawyers draw up the agreement tomorrow. All you need to do is sign and the money is yours." His brought his slick fingers to his lips to taste her, "Unless I managed to change your mind."
"The answer is still no."
"It never hurts to ask." Declan drew her into a deep kiss and she knew he was trying to convince her.
"So what's the catch?" Diamond asked, "There has to be a catch."
Declan grasped her chin, forcing her to look up at him. "You breathe a word of this arrangement to anyone on the outside I'll be forced to take your son and do to him what will be done to Eden, and you'll never see him again. Is that understood?"
"You don't have to worry-" Declan covered Diamond's mouth with his hand to silence her.
"It's important that you understand that I have eyes and ears everywhere. Your trusted doctors, lawyers, police, judges, and even your politicians are in my back pocket. Word will get back to me and I promise you will suffer immensely if you choose to cross me."
"I swear I won't tell anyone."
Declan drew a condom from the back pocket of his pants and handed it to her. "Now undress and get to work."
